Those who are at least remotely familiar with the Spiral Dynamics theory could not stop their smiles when learning about the Color of The Year according to Pantone , one of the kings of colors. Every year they proclaim a certain color as a champion, and in 2010 the prize goes to…. Turquoise!
The according to Pantone:
“In many cultures, Turquoise occupies a very special position in the world of color ” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “It is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through years of color word-association studies, we also find that Turquoise represents an escape to many – taking them to a tropical paradise that is pleasant and inviting, even if only a fantasy.”
Dr. Graves is remarkable close, yet of course in his own way:
“The basic theme of Turquoise holistic vMeme is to experience the wholeness of existence through mind and spirit.
The world is a single, dynamic organism with its own collective mind.
Self is both distinct and a blended part of a larger, compassionate whole.
Everything connects to everything else in ecological alignment.
Energy and information permeate the Earth’s total environment.
Holistic, intuitive thinking and cooperative actions are to be expected.”
I wonder how many more millions this color selection will place into the bank of this movie’s creator?
